Attachment
Resolution 1 – Amendment to the Constitution
To amend the constitution to insert the following new Clause 43A: “The Company in general meeting may by ordinary resolution express an opinion or request information about the way in which a power of the Company partially or exclusively vested in the Directors has been or should be exercised. However, such a resolution must relate to a material risk as identified by the Company and cannot either advocate action that would violate any law or relate to any personal claim or grievance. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.”
Resolution 2 – Capital Protection
Shareholders note the company’s support for the climate goals of the Paris Agreement, along with the publication of the International Energy Agency’s Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, and the Climate Action 100+ company assessment. Shareholders therefore request the company disclose, in subsequent annual reporting, information that demonstrates how the company’s capital allocation to oil and gas assets will align with a scenario in which global energy emissions reach net-zero by 2050, facilitating the efficient managing down of these assets. This information should include:
| • | Production guidance for the lifetime of the company’s oil and gas assets; |
| • | Plans and capital expenditure expectations for decommissioning and rehabilitating oil and gas asset sites; |
| • | Plans and provisions for supporting staff to transition to future employment following oil and gas asset closures; and |
| • | Details of how remaining value in the company’s oil and gas assets will be redeployed or returned to investors. |
